absence of a mender

My heart is torn to pieces
Shambles within
Constantly hurting
The hole continues to grow
Uncontrollably
Unrepairable
Not from lack of will or ability, but
From absence of a mender.

Seasons of love have taken their toll.
This lover and that one
Insensitive down to their soul
Aggressively knocking
For a time, possessing the key

Without question, the door is opened
Praying this one has the recipe
  To heal the scars within.
Giving love unconditional
 Not anticipating a tragic end
Consistently taken for granted
 No love received in return.

Exposing oneself to the elements of infatuation,
Lust, pain, deceit and lies.
 Scars and gashes, penetrate
 Deeply embedded
 After every "love's" depart
 Repeatedly bandaged and sutured
Endless pain

 How can it be protected
 This lonely heart?
 The only solution may be to close it
 Protect it and guard it
 Change the locks, discard the spare keys
 Allow the scars to heal and the pain to end.
 Treat all those coldly
Who try and enter in.

My heart is torn to pieces
Shambles within
Constantly hurting
The hole continues to grow
Uncontrollably
Unrepairable
Not from lack of will or ability, but
From absence of a mender.
